Capo 6
verse 1
Am F C
In the cold, cold night
Am F C
Lying next to you almost made it feel alright
Am F
And when we talked, hours just stood by
C
I told you all, all about my life
Am F C
At one point, I even cried
Pre-Chorus
F C G
It's all in your eyes
F C G
Yet I still need some time
[Refrão]F C Am
Before we burn each other up
G F
Before we lose our minds
C Am
Before I'm not enough, for you
G F
Baby I need some time
C Am
Before you break my heart
G F
Oh before we need to talk
C Am
Before we even start something
G F
I'm sorry I didn't call
verse 2
Am F C
I was lost and found
Am F C
Like a lonely glove nobody cares about
Am F
But you saw, something worth having
C
You picked me up, tugged on my heart strings
Am F C
But I'm still cold inside
Pre-Chorus
F C G
Maybe we could try
F
Somewhere down the line
C G
But I still need some time
Chorus
F C Am
Before we burn each other up
G F
Before we lose our minds
C Am
Before I'm not enough, for you
G F
Baby I need some time
C Am
Before you break my heart
G F
Oh before we need to talk
C Am
Before we even start, all I'm saying is

I'm sorry I didn't call

Oh I'm sorry I didn't call
Bridge
F Am
I am just a ghost, tryna' stay alive
G
Still I'm holding on to another life
F
You heard me howling
You said let's take it slow
Am
But I'm still fighting
I can't seem to let her go
G
Though I could see the light
It only hurts my eyes right now
F C G
I don't wanna lie
F C G
I still need some time
[Refrão]F C Am
Before we burn each other up
G F
Before we lose our minds
C Am
Before I'm not enough, for you

Baby I need some time

Before you break my heart
G F
Oh before we need to talk

I'm sorry I didn't call
